The shoulder pain will get better. Mines still hurt if i eat too much. Its almost like its saying to me thats enough:-)

Ive noticed that junk food doesnt taste the same too especially when i try to eat tacos or cheeseburgers. Potatoes chips taste differently too. I guess it for the best:-)

I too am experiencing tenderness at my port site. Does anyone know if i will be like this forever. Im 7 months post op. If I bend or sit for too long its hurts or if my pants are up around it.

Wow, I was never told this. Thank you I will order one today!

Mine changed too. Hamburgers do not taste the same and i seem to want chips more than i did before. Cake too taste different but i guess that a good thing:-)

Yes please take everyones advice and eat small portions and slow. That was the hardest part for me because im a fast eater. My first stuck episode was a piece of chicken strip that i broke off from my son's plate. We were at the bowling alley and i thght that i was going to die. I keep tapping my chest and walking around. Needless to say, i haven't had another piece since. Also, certain breads, and chinese food do not agree with me anymore.

@@valarie kk. Ive noticed that chinese food and pizza doesnt taste the same. I seem to crave potatoe chips more than before. I still eat a little junk food but not nearly as much as i used to.

I agree. I went girl scout cookie crazy last month so glad thats over. Lol

Cheryl, great post and well said. I needed to read this. I guess im a newbie banded dec 2013 so reading this has definitely gave me some encouragement. I love reading posts by you:-) keep them coming!

Thank you, you all. I am noticing that with this second fill I can really feel the restriction. My left shoulder also lets me know too;-)..

I just had my second fill. Im down 42lbs since being banded on December 10, 13. Im now at 6.5cc. I go back in a month. I think that this maybe my comfort zone. I will find out how well it works for me next month, but all in all I'm enjoying the new me:-)

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

Great News that your band hadnt slipped and i know what you mean about the burping and gas. I used to only get gas if i ate onions or diary now its with everything. I must have missed that part in the seminar. Lol.

That is awesome. Congrats!
